6. Brian Orakpo (2004-2008)

Orakpo had an unbelievable season as a senior in 2008.

With 40 tackles and 11 sacks as a defensive end, he piled up the awards.

He was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner as the best defensive player, the Ted Hendricks Award winner as the nation's best defensive end, and Lombardi Award winner as the nation's best defensive lineman or linebacker.

Orakpo was even a unanimous All-American selection in 2008.

Brian Orakpo had one of the best single seasons for a defensive player in Longhorns history.

He was the 13th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, by the Washington Redskins.

2. Colt McCoy (2006-2009)

He never won a National Championship, which is the reason he couldn't be number one on this list.

He holds Texas records for most career touchdown passes, total touchdowns, most career wins as a quarterback (45), and the most passing yards in a single season.

On a National scale, he holds records for the highest single season completion percentage (76.7), most wins by a starting quarterback in Division I NCAA history (again, 45), and he's the only quarterback to have 10+ wins per season all four years.

This kid was ridiculous, even scoring 20 career touchdowns with his feet.

He changed the quarterback position at Texas forever, and if not for his injury in the 2010 National Championship game, they might have won.

He was a third round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2010 NFL Draft, and he's currently the starting quarterback in Cleveland.
